Near the village of San Marcos la Laguna, the house is accessible via a rustic road or by boat from Panajachel (your starting point) to our private dock. The caretaker, Jesus, will meet you at the dock and provide for handling your luggage. All transportation for guests will be arranged from La Aurora International Airport in Guatemala City to Panajachel and then across the lake to Casa Palo Jiote. Our experienced drivers are sensitive to your needs and speak at least some useful English.

The house is 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, with scenic views of the lake from the deck and balcony. The large, well-equipped kitchen offers new, modern appliances including gas stove and oven, full-size refrigerator with freezer compartment, and dishwasher. The counter-tops are native Guatemalan green marble, as is the ample dining surface. The living room and bedrooms are fully furnished with both Western comfort and local touches included.

Activities are the lake -- and there are many -- include swimming and playing in the comfortable waters (averaging 21 degrees C); walking and hiking along the lakefront or up a mountainside; renting a kayak or canoe; and, certainly, spending a morning or two visiting some of the colorful Mayan villages on the shores of Lake Atitlan. Truly delightful!

About the neighbourhood

From the dock at Casa Palo Jiote, or from the public dock in San Marcos, you can flag down a passing lancha (local passenger boat) to take you to Panajachel which is the main shopping village, or anywhere else you may want to explore around the lake. Alternately, a private boat can be arranged, allowing you more flexibility...

Alternately, a private boat can be arranged, allowing you more flexibility to enjoy a day at the lake. There are a dozen villages surrounding Lake Atitlan, each with its own character, customs, and dress. You may be familiar with San Juan -- known as the artists' village -- where most of the paintings adorning the walls of Casa Palo Jiote originated. The villagers are smiling, friendly people, always willing to share their stories of life and artistry in this colorful place on the beautiful Lake Atitlan.

Upon arrival at the airport, you will be met by our driver who will be waiting for you outside the exit door. He will hold up a sign with your name on it. Once you connect, he will handle the luggage for you and bring the car around for the 2-1/2 to 3- hour drive to Panajachel, the main village on Lake Atitlan. The driver will speak at least some useful English. Our representative will meet you in Pana and escort you, via private boat, to the dock at Casa Palo Jiote.

But, if you would like to stay a night (or two) in Guatemala City before proceeding to the lake, we can recommend a hotel to suit your preferred travel style. Usually, the concierge there can arrange a car and driver for you, or recommend a reliable taxi service to use during your visit. Or, we can arrange for a privat...
